# Expert Advice:
01 -

02 -
- Frozen fruit eliminates the need for ice, which waters down the flavor and makes the texture less creamy
- Letting the blender run for an extra ten seconds makes a surprising difference in how silky the final drink becomes
03 -
- If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let the fruit sit on the counter for five minutes before blending
- Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly than cold ones straight from the refrigerator
